Jordan C. Conner

Founder, Counselor, Art Therapist, and Yoga Teacher RYT-200

  • Like many others at the onset of COVID-19 when the whole world shut down, Jordan was confused and increasingly stir crazy. Her FB feed continuously led her to an ad for a live, online yoga training. In her desire for outside connection, she joined the 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yoga Farm Ithaca and 6 months later, she became a certified vinyasa teacher. 

    Though she enjoys all styles of yoga, vinyasa is what Jordan loves to teach most. She enjoys the slow, intentional, yet, sensual movement of the vinyasa practice. Jordan teaches with a gentle and mindful approach, often integrating prayer and breath work throughout. She has directly experienced the benefits of harnessing spirituality in her own yoga practice. In her classes, postures and movement are utilized in a way that helps to build a strong spiritual connection, leading to gratitude and groundedness in the spirit and grace of God.

Elizabeth Holmes

Singer, Professor of Music, and Yoga Teacher RYT-200

  • Elizabeth was first drawn to yoga in college, when she was told by her voice teacher that practicing yoga could help her improve her singing. She would later realize that yoga’s higher purpose in her life was to help her balance out her Type A personality, resist perfectionism, and learn to practice self-compassion. She has been continuously practicing since 2008.

    Just as singing led her to begin her practice, Elizabeth said yes to becoming a yoga teacher due to her desire to help her voice students access yoga’s benefits for themselves. She has recently completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with the Balanced School of Yoga, and is currently a student at Yogi Flight School, an online community dedicated to practicing arm balances and inversions. She has found a great deal of overlap between her experience training vocal function in singers and crafting intentional yoga sequences.

    Elizabeth’s favorite style of yoga is a rigorous vinyasa; she finds it impossible to worry about other problems when she is busy figuring out how to make various pretzel shapes with her body. Her classes incorporate challenging postures, but are designed to be accessible to students of all levels, with modifications and variations offered throughout. Elizabeth believes that yoga is a tremendous tool for discovery and growth, as well as deepening connection with ourselves, our community, and the divine.
